DIY Exfoliating Pink Himalayan Salt Essential Oil Soaps
These are simple to make and smell oh so good! Plus, they truly exfoliate. I personally have been using one on my elbows and knees and have noticed a huge improvement.
Supplies:
- ½ pound glycerin soap base of your choice
- 1 teaspoon sweet almond oil
- 10 drops lavender essential oil
- 3 teaspoons pink Himalayan salt
- 2-3 drops of pink or purple soap coloring
- Spray bottle of rubbing alcohol
- Soap mold
Instructions:
Step 1: Cut the soap base into squares and place into a microwave safe bowl.
Step 2: Heat at 30 second intervals until melted.
Step 3: Add sweet almond oil to the bowl.
Step 4: Add essentials oils.
Step 5: Add food coloring.
Step 6: Sprinkle a pinch of salt into bottom of mold.
Step 7: Gently pour soap mixture into mold.
Step 8: Sprinkle a pinch of salt to top of soap.
Step 9: Spray the top of the soap with the rubbing alcohol.
Step 10: Allow to harden for at least an hour. Gently pop out and store in an airtight container or ziplock bag until ready to use.
There are so many ways to package these adorable soaps up for gift giving. My personal favorite is to stack a few and then tie with a ribbon! Another way is to put them in a gift box with a tag on the outside. I would be delighted if I received these as a gift!
